Using Thai Keyboard on iPhone/iPodTouch OS 3+

To be able to type in Thai without using a jailbreak, you need to upgrade your OS to 3+. There is a small fee in upgrading, visit Apple for more information. I think it worth doing so if you need to type in Thai to communicate with friends and family. Once you upgrade it, go to Settings >> General >> About.

Go to Settings >> General >> International >> Keyboards >> Thai (or other languages).

To the tone marks, and some vowels, PRESS + HOLD the tone mark button (ปุ่ม ไม้เอก). Then use your finger tip to select the tone marks and vowels.

Happy iPhone/iPod Touch.

First iPhone/iPod Touch apps

Yes, the first and easy one. I have to tell you that I am not an expert and still learn a lot from many resources. The book that I recommend is "Beginning iPhone 3 Development" by Dave and Jeff. Here is the link to their site, http://iphonedevbook.com/

Alright enough talk. Let's go to my first app. I'll try my best to explain it through.
I call it "Simple Pickers".

... more to come

fun with Cocoa

just finish three tutorials using XCode. I really enjoy it. There are a lot of good blogs on how to start developing applications/games on iPhone/iPodTouch. Here is one of them I think is great for a flash programmer like myself, BIT - 101.

iPhone 3.0 SDK (Beta)

I just download and install the SDK onto my mac machines. The Dashcode is a starter for those who do not have a programming skill. :) It's just a drag-drop objects, which you can modified the actions by using JavaScript. For me, I'm more into the xCode where I write my own programming stuff. My idea is to finish creating the audio flash card for Thai language. The application will be free of charge.

Frozen iPodTouch

Well what to do when all of the sudden the touch screen doesn't response anymore?  Throw it away.  :D  Naah!!! All you need to do is try to press and hold the power button on the top of your iPodTouch until you can see the apple logo appears again.  This might take a while (took about 10-15 minutes for me).

Cool apps on iPodToch

I had fun downloading and installing applications on my iPodTouch yesterday. Installing applications using iPodTouch/iPhone is much more convenient than using iTunes (provided that you are connected to the Internet). One of the social network applications I installed was Facebook. This is fascinating. Now I can get in touch with friends and family while I'm traveling. No need to carry a laptop with me. It's quite convenience.. just login and do the same thing you do with your desktop/notebook.
